Visitor address and access
The main entrance is on Binderslebener Landstraße; additional entrances provide access to the grounds.
Use that access information as the starting point for Erfurt Main Cemetery, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.
Public transport
Tram line 4 to Hauptfriedhof or Am Kreuzchen.
For a public-transport journey to Erfurt Main Cemetery, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Binderslebener Landstraße 75, 99092 Erfurt and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.
Parking
A park-and-ride site and other parking areas are by the northern main entrance.
The parking note for Erfurt Main Cemetery should be read together with local signs on arrival. If a short or step-free route is essential, ask City of Erfurt · Parks and Cemeteries Office which entrance serves the destination and whether the required route is suitable.
